Test Overview & Methodology
The TANC1 Gene Sequencing Test identifies pathogenic variants in the TANC1 gene associated with autosomal dominant psychomotor retardation, delivering a definitive molecular diagnosis that drives personalised neurodevelopmental care.
| Feature | Our Test (NGS Full Gene) | Closest Alternative (Sanger Single Exon) |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | >99.9% diagnostic sensitivity | ~99.0% for targeted region |
| Methodology | Next‑Generation Sequencing (NGS) – covers all exons & splice sites | Sanger sequencing – limited to one exon at a time |
| Turnaround Time | 3 – 4 Weeks | 4 – 6 Weeks (cumulative) |
| Sample Flexibility | Whole blood, extracted DNA, or dried blood spot (FTA card) | Blood only (larger volume required) |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As a clinical geneticist, I emphasise that a positive TANC1 mutation result must be correlated with a detailed clinical phenotype and family history to guide management. Genetic findings alone do not dictate prognosis; they illuminate risk.”
— Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh, Consultant Medical Genetics, DHA Licence 9294403
Important Advisory
⚠ Medication Warning: Do not discontinue any prescribed medication without consulting your treating physician. This test does not substitute for clinical assessment.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Acute febrile illness or active infection within 48 hours (may delay collection).
- Recent blood transfusion (<4 weeks) – can dilute genetic material; inform phlebotomist.
- Inability to provide informed consent or, for minors, absent parental authorisation as per UAE law.
- Seek emergency care immediately if the patient experiences sudden loss of consciousness, prolonged seizures, or acute neurological deterioration – these are not related to sampling but require urgent intervention.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the purpose of the TANC1 gene test?
This NGS detects pathogenic mutations in the TANC1 gene that cause psychomotor retardation, enabling accurate diagnosis, early intervention planning, and informed family reproductive choices.
2. How is the sample collected and what options are available?
A DHA-licensed phlebotomist collects a small blood sample through a gentle venipuncture in your home or clinic; alternatively, an FTA card with a finger‑prick drop of blood can be used for maximum convenience.
3. Are results and genetic data protected under UAE law?
Absolutely — all genetic information is strictly safeguarded under the UAE Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) and Federal Law No. 2 of 2019 Concerning the Use of Information and Communication Technology in Health Fields, ensuring confidentiality, non‑discrimination, and safe data handling.
